I can code , not pro but hardware is my strong point . got eagle and a reflow oven . and mad smd skills .</p> <p>here is what i am working on . A robotics board . it will include the following :</p> <p>1 8 channel mux or ppm encoder for rc servo control<br /> 2 digital IO broken out ie GPIO spi i2c usart usb<br /> 3 invensence mpu - 6000<br /> 3 magnetometer<br /> 4 MS5611-01BA03 absolute pressure<br /> 5 2 separate differential pressure sensors<br /> 6 video ?<br /> 7 cake<br /> 8 anything else that is cool (taking suggestions )</p> <p>saw the board last night going to order one tonight . </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=1512#post-10024 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:36:10 +0000 gbulmer 10024@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <blockquote><p>3.

The board is the one used for video in those videos. It also has an accelerometer, digital audio output, and a digital microphone.</p> <blockquote><p>5.

So if you wanted to do some simple speech analysis (or just detect the tone of voice used), then respond with your own pre-recorded voice samples (maybe "yes hon", and "no dear"), then that is probably doable :-)</p> <p>(full disclosure: I am not a member of LeafLabs staff.) </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=1512#post-9949 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:52:30 +0000 torkroll 9949@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>Hey<br /> I've been watching the development of maple 2 and I have a few question.<br /> 1. Any hint as to which chip in the f4 line you are using<br /> 2. What is the status of ret6 ? Will future ide support it? Or will it be dumped in the river like so many bags of kittens?<br /> 3. What sort of video processing ability will it support?<br /> 4.what can I do to help contribute?<br /> 5. Will this allow me to built a robot that responds to my wife's nagging? </p>
